She later shared a photo of her holding her baby's hand and wrote: 'So lucky to be your mum. My beautiful baby girl Lila Grey. Perfect.'
Lilly revealed that she had giving birth after posting a photo of Lee, who is the son of Kinahan crime boss Liam Byrne, carrying his daughter home from hospital.
Other photos show former Liverpool captain Steven holding his first grandchild with the caption 'little angel'. Steven previously revealed that he was excitedly awaiting the birth of his first grandchild in July and that his phone screensaver was a photo of the baby's ultrasound.
Lilly and Lee have been inundated with messages of congratulations from well wishers on social media, including from Claudine Keane, the wife of former Irish football star Robbie Keane.

Lilly also shared a message of congratulations from Lee's close friend Nathan Biggie Little who has been previously described in the High Court as being a 'low-level' member of the Byrne Organised Crime Group.
He wrote: 'Congratulations to my bro and Lilly on the birth of there baby.' The message was accompanied by a loveheart emoji.
In January, Lilly (21) revealed she was expecting a baby with Lee (25) who she has been in a relationship with for over three years.
The happy news came around the same time that Lee's father Liam was released from jail in the UK.
He had been sentenced to five years behind bars at the Old Bailey in London after pleading guilty to conspiracy charges related to a gun plot.
He had been extradited to the UK in 2023 after his dramatic arrest in Spain.
Lee Byrne, Lilly Gerrard Steven Gerrard have no involvement in any crime.

President Michael D Higgins to release spoken word album
President Michael D. Higgins is set to release Against All Certainty, a new spoken word album of his poems set to music and recorded in Áras an Uachtaráin. Released on folk and trad label Claddagh Records 5 September, the 10-track album will feature music by Irish musician and filmmaker Myles O'Reilly, with the title track available to stream now. The new record is the debut spoken-word collection by the President, who leaves office after serving two terms as President of Ireland this November. Born in 1941 in Limerick City and raised in County Clare, President Higgins has published four collections of poetry - The Betrayal; The Season of Fire; An Arid Season; and New and Selected Poems. On 11 November 2011, Mr Higgins was inaugurated as the ninth President of Ireland. On 11 November 2018, he was inaugurated for a second term. O'Reilly has previously released ambient albums and has collaborated with Irish artists including Rónán Ó Snodaigh Ronan of Kila. His film work often explores themes of nature, spirituality and human connection through music. Speaking about Against All Certainty, Sebastian Barry, novelist and Laureate for Irish Fiction, said, "These are truly prodigious poems by Michael D Higgins - not just a milestone in his own work but in Irish poetry. "Readers and listeners will be astonished by their inspired truthfulness and their lovely adroitness of line. `…a new fire And a new day.' Because the poet happens to be President of Ireland should not distract from the fact that these poems are written with all the precision and fervour of a free soul, and one that has made no bargain with rectitude or even the meaner sorts of discretion. "They are not rawly truthful poems, but cooly so, and sometimes properly disquieting. There is something of the rejection of evasion in, say, the work of Paul Celan here, and what Matthew Arnold might have termed the 'dreadful authority' of remembrance without window-dressing. "Just the bare window both to look out of and look into. It feels like a signal achievement, and despite the mere chronology of the poet's life, not at all in the nature of a swansong - in fact, the poems have the unquantifiable strength of youth. "Like all tremendous poems they are being said for the first and the last time. They have appeared out of that 'nowhere,' that elusive 'thin air,' that all poets long to connect to. What a miracle." The tracklist for Against All Certainty is: The Truth of Poetry Brothers Katie's Song Dark Memories My Mother Married my Father in Mount Melleray in 1937 The Death of The Red Cow Against All Certainty The Betrayal The Death of Mary Doyle Stargazer
